The now infamous theme of the Bullad Club rings throughout the arena followed by the familiar echo of boos which accompany each member, well each member except Nakayama. As soon as he makes his appearance on stage, the boos die down but aren't replaced by cheers, they're replaced by silence, it appears that Nakayama has not garnered the love to hate relationship that Dragon, Fargo and Jacobs recieve on a regular basis from the crowd quite yet, something that he knows he will earn in time.

For now, he doesn't let the rejection of him from the crowd affect his stride. Walking down to the ring in the very same black suit from his initial IWT appearance, mic in hand, Rio Nakayama decides to return the favour and completely ignore the crowd. Upon reaching the ring he pulls up the apron to pull out two steel chairs which he throws into the ring before getting in himself, he props the two chairs up in seated positions, you would think this means he'd be offering a chair to nick but instead he seats himself down on one chair and uses the other as a foot rest.

Nakayama:Nick. Nick. When I first heard that I'd be facing a man named Nick, I was surprised that they'd let someone from catering fight, I mean Nick? That is no name for a wrestler.

The initial jabs from Nakayama garner him a few more boos than during his entrance but not enough.

Nakayama:But the thing is, Nick isn't some greased teen in catering, he is a widely respected wrestler here or sorry, was a widely respected wrestler here. I wasn't surprised to learn this though because this joke of a promotion should have someone as generic as itself in it right? I mean, this guy could be the figurehead of the company with how plain he is. I for one can't wait until he goose steps his way down here, calls me a "punk-bitch" and then panders to these sheep for five minutes that we're meant to call fans.

Once again, the boos grow slightly louder and Nakayama is only growing more confident of his ability to get under these people's skins.

Nakayama:It's hillarous really, I mean if you don't know my style, I like to learn about my opponents before facing them and normally, in Japan, this would take days to get to learn every single bit, to strategize to counter their techniques, to learn their finite weaknesses and how best to use them to my advantage but with Nick? Twenty minutes, it took twenty minutes for me to learn everything I needed about this guy because he's been doing the same rehashed schtick for so long that I watched a short promo by him and then a short clipreel of his in ring work and I was done, I'd hadn't even filled a quarter page of my notebook! In fact...

Nakayama reaches into his suit pocket and pulls out a little green notebook.

Nakayama:Here we are, a few things I have written about Nick.

Nakayama clears his throat.

Nakayama:

- "wah wah wah, I used to be in the main event scene remember? wah wah wah" Seems to be a nice little catchphrase of his.

- This guy looked better when he had Blonde hair, at least then the grease in his hair looked more like hairspray and less like he caused the deepwater oil spil.

- Oh he's from Brooklyn? Well, that just about explains everything.

The last garners a significantly louder boo than ever before for Nakayama and it is obvious that there are quite a lot of New Yorkers in the crowd tonight as they follow the booing by shouting many variating expletives at Nakayama whom continues to ignore the crowd.

Nakayama:That's all I have on him, he's just that boring but yet he still gets a reaction from the crowd and as I said earlier in my IWT debut video, there are many things wrong with wrestling in this country and moronic fans cheering themselves half to death for the same old crap is very near the top of the list and just in case that no one watching understands which is actually scary how possible that is with the idiots tuning in, I'll dumb it all down for you.

Nick loses. You Cheer. Nick loses. You Cheer. Nick loses. You Cheer. Oh hey, Nick just somehow won a title! And he then loses it. You Cheer! Nick loses...you cheer. You can see where I'm going with this right? If I was a betting man, which I'm not because luck is for those too stupid to make their own, I'd bet that you're all betting for Nick against me because you still, STILL somehow have not noticed the pattern going on here! Come uprising?

Nick will fight valiantly, Nick will fight bravely....Nick will lose.

Nakayama takes the microphone away from his mouth with a smile, the crowd are now giving him what he wants, their boos may sound like rejection to any simple minded person but it's actually the opposite, they're giving him hate and popularity at the same time. A hated man is just as remembered as a loved one.

Nick steps out onto the stage, taking in a reaction to the contrary of Nakayama's. The silence are instead replaced by cheers from the sold out crowd. He smirks and walks down the ramp, eyes focused on Nakayama. He rolls into the ring and observes his opponent's set up of the chairs. Noticing his feet on the second chair, Nick simply sits on top of them, then smiles at Nakayama.

"Sorry to disappoint buddy, but you're not meeting IWT's favorite loser. That honor belongs to someone else. Instead, allow me to introduce you to the man who will defeat you at Uprising, Nick."

He smiles at Nakayama once more.

"You say you figured me out in 20 minutes, but I just learned everything I need to know about you in that speech! You come out here and call me generic but you fail to realize YOU are the most generic person in this company right now. You are what, the 5th Japanese wrestler to come in here, criticize our wrestling and our people and then say that Japan is sooo much better. You fit right in here with our so called generic promotion because you are the most cookie-cutter, bland Japanese wrestler I've ever seen in my life. You bring nothing new to the table, Rio. And you'll turn out just like every other Japanese flop to ever come into this company. Just like Nero, or that Michinoku guy, you'll be beaten by me and never seen again. Left to die in obscurity where scum like you belongs."

He pauses briefly.

"Yes sir, I am a highly respected wrestler, not only in this promotion but around the world. Because I've paid my dues. I beat guys just like you not only here, but in Mexico, and Europe, and of course in Japan. I've travelled all over the globe and have beaten all sorts of wrestlers - ones that are far better than you. If it took you twenty minutes to figure all that you know about me then you clearly didn't learn shit. Because I've got a whole lot of surprises up my sleeve that NOBODY has seen yet, and I'd love to try them out on you."

He gets out of the chair and stands above Rio, who is still sitting, the crowd cheering.

"I'm not much of a talker, I'd much prefer to show you that to really figure me out it would take YEARS of studying and preparation. You'll see all sorts of things you didn't expect, because you see, I am reinventing myself. I'm a completely different man, and I'll show it to you when that bell rings. Or... we can just get a little fight before the real fight right now?"

Nick shrugs and looks at Rio eagerly.

"You're right, there is something wrong with this company. The fact that we keep allowing guys like you to come into this place. Guys who talk this big game but when it's all said and done you make no impact and fade into obscurity. I'm just gonna expedite that process for you, so it can save us all the pain of having to hear your annoying voice and see your disgusting face again."

I'm going with Nick. Aurtle's promo basically consisted ''You are a generic twat". That's not good. He didn't focus on Nick's character at all. Also, I'm not even sure that's a valid reason to insult a opponent. While Nick also played the generic card, he moved onto greener points. He also backed himself up well and retaliated to Rio's points well.

Also, no comma-geddon.

Lots of people are going to vote Rio because in their heads "Longer = Better" but in truth Nick has so much more substance

Commissioner

Does my vote even count? Dunno. But I really liked both promos. However, my decision swayed more on the on the outcome. Might not have gotten the notification, might not have had times. Can't fully judge, but not finishing your first match is kinda disappointing.

Somebody can make it go to sudden death and then we can have another promo

I gotta give my vote to Nick. Aurtle did a good job, but Nick's promo just seemed to have more structure and reason behind it. A bit disappointing as if Aurtle put out a #2 he could've broadened up some more and gotten the edge.
